Traditional medical practice has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a building block of primary health care. Gondia district has a rich traditional knowledge of folk medicine practices. But rapid fragmentation of natural habitat and unrestricted exploitations coupled with limited cultivation and insufficient attempt for its replacement has decreased this now day by day. As a result these wild stocks of medicinal plants are depleted with an increasing risk of loosing their genetic diversity and quality of these plants remains unknown. Many species are extinct or on the verge of extinction before they are known for their scientific uses. The present study was carried with an aim to document the ethno-medicinal diversity, of Gondia district with some of the threatened plant species and their conservational needs.
